CLOTHES-HANGER COVER.

Application filed March 10, 1927.

My invention relates to covers adapted to be used in connection withclothes hangers, and the main object of the invention is to construct aclothes-hanger cover of a soft, flexible material so as to preventarticles of clothing from coming in direct contact with hangers and thusto avoid all liability to the clothi'ngs being soiled or otherwisedamaged by such a contact.

Another object of my invention is to make a clothes-hanger cover of asoft, flexible, washable material and in parts, which are easilyattached to, and removable from, each other, so that the cover isadapted for use upon different hangers and is readily removable forwashing in order to further protect the clothing upon a hanger frombeing soiled.

Other objects and advantages of my invention may be understood from thefollowing detailed description, illustrated in the accompanying drawing,in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a clothes hanger, with the cover of myinvention applied thereto;

Figure 2 is a transverse section taken in a plane indicated by the line22 in Figure 1; and

Figure 3 is a plan of a portion of the cover as applied to a hanger, theview being taken so sectionally of the hanger in a plane indicated bythe line 33 in Figure 1.

The clothes-hanger cover of my invention is indicated as a whole in thedrawing by the numeral 1. It is preferably made of soft,

flexible, and Washable materials and comprises two portions 2 and 3,each of which is in the shape of an elongated bag adapted to he slippedover a wing at of a clothes hanger 5. Each of the portions 2 and 3 ispreferably formed from pieces 6 for the outer material and pieces 7 forthe lining, the pieces being sewed together at their edges so that thelining 7 will be on the inside of the respective bag.

At the openings of, and in corresponding places on, the bags 2 and 3, Isecure fasteners 8, which are of the usual snap type, so that,

Serial No. 174,263.

when the wings 4 of the hanger 5 have been insert into the respectivebags, a person may join the bags to each other by simply pressin g thecorresponding fasteners together, and thus the bags, with the edges oftheir openings, embrace the neck portion 9 of the hanger, and therebyform thecompletely protective cover 1 for the hanger. After simplypulling the fasteners apart, a person may readily remove the cover fromthe hanger.

In the drawing, the hanger 5, to which the cover 1 is applied, is shownas being formed of wire. It is understood, however, that the cover maybe applied to hangers of other types Without involving a departure fromthe spirit of my invention.

I claim as my invention:

1. A clothes-hanger cover comprising two bags, each adapted to receivetherein a wing of the hanger; and means for removably attaehing the bagsto each other so as to embrace the neck of the hanger and thereby holdthe bags upon the wings, as, and for the purpose, set forth.

2. A clothes-hanger 'cover comprising two bags, each made of a soft,flexible, and washable material and adapted to receive therein a wing ofthe hanger; and snap fasteners at the openings of the bags for removablyattaching the bags to each other, so that the bags, with the edges oftheir openings, embrace the neck of the hanger and thereby hold the bagsupon the wings, as, and for the purpose, set forth.

3. A clothes-hanger cover comprising two bags, each of said bags beingmade of a soft, flexible, and washable material having a lining therein,said bags being adapted to receive a wing of the hanger; and snapfasteners at the openings of the bags for removably attaching the bagsto each other, so that the bags with the edges of their openings embracethe neck of the hanger and thereby hold the bags upon the wings, as, andfor the purpose set forth.
